Lone Star Lake Lyrics

what do you say
you sleep all day
we drive out to the only lake in Kansas
turkey wheat
my heart sinks in the orange & pink
& i call you by your last name
i’ll kiss you like a fever dream companion
ancient history
we burned that story like the Bama heat
& in the drunkenness of free reign
i’m an outlaw in the court of strong opinions
you’ll kill me
but my failure’s legendary babe
 
i get caught up in my thoughts
for lack of a better cause
my life’s been mapped out to a T
but i’m always a little lost
 
you swerve to hit a dead deer
a girl like that would bore you to tears baby
it’s cosmic
a caustic buck knife slicing you
but i’ll sit down at your table
i’ll stand arm in arm with anyone who’s able
to let me
be the object of their misery
& i’ll whistle like a songbird
& you’ll parse my devotional words so carefully
my blood loss
was such a weak performance after all
 
if i cannot tell a lie
then we might be here all night
my heart’s been strung up like a flag
passively idolize
 
shirk every rule of thumb
i got more where that came from
my expectations are a cinderblock
i tote around like a hollow gun
 
what do you say
you sleep all day
drive out to Lone Star Lake
what do you say
you sleep all day
drive out to Lone Star Lake
drive out to Lone Star Lake
we can drive out to Lone Star Lake
